Dr. Wilke’s Patient Testimonials

I saw Dr. Wilke at Edina Plastic Surgery for Breast Augmentation. He was fantastic to work with and I highly recommend him to anyone undergoing plastic surgery. I had an absolutely excellent experience with Dr. Wilke. I interviewed many surgeons that had great reviews on Angie's list and he was hands down the best one that I met with. The office was first class and the staff is cheerful and welcoming. I felt that his consultation was the most informative and that he had a great calm and confident presence. I felt like I could 100% trust him with the surgery. I had breast augmentation to resurrect my breasts to what they looked like pre-kids. Dr. Wilke took my measurements and made recommendations on size. He also has a dedicated staff member to help with sizing. She worked with me on trying on different sizes so I could visualize what I'd look like, including giving me a virtual before and after images with their new computer/3D camera. I wanted to look natural and I have been extremely happy with their recommendations. My breasts look even better than they did before kids! My recovery was much easier than I thought it would be. I believe it was because of the skilled technique of Dr. Wilke and because of the pain regimen recommendations. I took two days off work and was completely fine returning on day three.*

Dr. Wilke did my reduction and they look 100% untouched. From the nipple being completely removed to the scars that are supposed to be underneath they are so faint you can't even see them until you get a microscope. He is extremely compassionate and cares so much about the outcome. I can't imagine any single PS could have done better. There was really no room for improvement when he was finished.*

Dr. Wilke, I could not be happier with the outcome of my surgery. The results exceeded my expectations. Thank you!*

I came to Edina Plastic Surgeons after a significant unplanned weight loss due to other health issues. After consulting with some of the staff, I chose Dr. Wilke for my breast augmentation. Everyone from Dr. Wilke to the nurses and administration staff felt like family. Everyone was very caring and took into account every aspect of what I should expect and was there for me. Dr. Wilke did an exceptional procedure and I am thrilled with the results.*

I did a lot of research and interviewed many plastic surgeons before I decided on having Dr. Wilke perform my surgery and I know that I made an excellent choice. I am a medical professional who works in a critical care area of a Twin Cities hospital and feel that I am in a good position to judge competency and skill. The surgery and care that I received just one week ago was nothing short of exceptional. Dr. Wilke is a meticulous surgeon, the nurse anesthetists are extremely experienced and the OR and nursing staff are the best. I received superior care from start to finish and am so happy I made my choice to use this surgeon and his team. When you have surgery you put your life in the hands of strangers, not really knowing too much other than their credentials, track record and what you can glean from reviews, recommendations and just an intuitive sense. It's a very scary thing. I usually don’t do these kinds of reviews but felt like I had to do this one so that women can read this to help them make a decision that is right for them and hopefully ease their fears. I would without hesitation recommend using this surgical center. My surgery went beautifully, and the results better than anticipated.*

After having kids, I felt unhappy with what pregnancy did to my breasts. I wanted the volume and lift back. Back in December I went to meet with Dr. Wilke about my problem and he had great solutions. During my consultation I felt very comfortable and was impressed that they could use the Vectra camera to generate a 3D picture of myself in my current state and one of what I would look like with different sized breasts. That right there, sold me on having my surgery at EPS. On the day of my surgery I was apprehensive of being put out and how I would feel afterward. When the surgery was over, I was extremely impressed at how good I felt. All the nurses were very helpful and accommodating. Dr. Wilke made me feel at ease through out the whole process. I would definitely recommended anybody to go to EPS for anything. They made the whole experience enjoyable and I am very, very happy with my results!*

Congratulations on a well-deserved anniversary! I first met Dr. Wilke in 2002. It was my first experience with plastic surgery and I feel extremely fortunate that out of all the facilities and professionals available, I found the PERFECT doctor on my first visit. EPS was recommended by a past coworker who had undergone a procedure by Dr. Leigh. The results I received from Dr. Wilke's work were even better than I expected. Since that first surgery, I underwent one more with Dr. Wilke and when I turned 40 I treated myself to my first dermabrasion, which was followed by Botox later that year. I had a gift certificate for dermabrasion from a competitor which I used in 2009, but there was no comparison. I will only go to Phyllis for my facial treatments and to Dr. Wilke if I ever need anything else in the future. I have recommended EPS to anyone interested and cannot say enough great things about them!*

I saw Dr. Wilke about 3 years ago now and I have to say that it was probably the best medical experience that I have had! I came in there very apprehensive do to another procedure I had elsewhere that went horrible. Dr. Wilke was BEYOND patient with me and made me feel very comfortable from my initial consultation all the way through my procedure and all of my follow ups. My results were awesome too and I just don't know that I ever got a chance to share all of this and wanted to. I just wanted to take a quick minute to tell you about my experience at Edina Plastic Surgery. Most people only take time to complain and I would like to be the exception to the rule.*

I had wanted to get a breast augmentation for a long time and when I left my first appointment at Edina Plastic Surgery I literally cried from happiness and excitement. The ability to see my own body on the computer was very important to me. Not only was I able to see what the implants would look like when placed under the muscle, I was able to see what it would look like on me vs. what it looks like on others. For patients looking for unsurpassed expertise and the highest level of technology, Edina Plastic Surgery is the only place to go. I am extremely happy with my results and would recommend them highly.*

Dr. Wilke is an amazing surgeon, a true artist! It takes more than schooling and experience to deliver the kind of results I received from him! It takes a special eye, and love of his craft that goes way beyond the operating room. I am truly amazed every time I look in the mirror.*

WOW!! Thank you Dr. Wilkie for making me look fabulous. From the time I spoke with Dr. Wilkie about my surgery, until it was completed I was treated with such kindness and respect. I felt so important and cared for. I look great and feel great. I am so happy to have had Dr. Wilkie do the surgery. He has a special touch.*

Dr. Wilke, thank you for being a meticulous surgeon and a great listener. The results of my facelift, brow lift and eyelid lift are so natural—I still look like myself but much more refreshed—exactly what I wanted. I appreciated your state-of-the-art in-house surgical center and the discreet back entrance and elevator for my post-op visits was so nice. I did my homework interviewing four plastic surgeons and I definitely made the right choice!* –51 year old facelift patient

Dr. Wilke, I would like to say thank you to your staff and especially to you. Everyone was so nice and caring. It has made this experience a very positive one. You have helped change my life for the better. I felt like I was losing myself and thanks to you I am found. Thank you doesn’t seem like it is enough, but from the bottom of my heart THANK YOU!* –35 year old abdominoplasty and liposuction patient (“mommy makeover”)

Dr. Wilke & Staff: I just wanted to let you all know that I greatly appreciate the care I received throughout my entire operation. You guys made me feel so safe and comfortable. I am so happy I chose you to do my rhinoplasty. I love showing off my new nose and telling people where I got it done. You really put me at ease throughout the process. I can honestly say I have never written a ‘thank you’ letter to a business before, but I really wanted you to know how touched I was by your care, service, hospitality and respect. Thank you for making my experience so great. You are amazing at what you do!* - 26 year old rhinoplasty patient

Thank you so much for the awesome work you have done on my body. I really appreciate it. I feel great just being able to put on a pair of jeans and a shirt and not have to hide my belly. I’m a completely new person because of you and your work. Thank you!* - A 26-year-old tummy tuck and liposuction patient

First, I would like to say thank you to you and your wonderful staff for having the patience, encouragement, and thoughtfulness for caring for me throughout my visit. Without you and them as a team, I feel my operation would not have been as great of a success as it has been. Secondly, the post-operative crews were amazing and they answered all my questions in great detail to ensure everything went smoothly when I left. There is no doubt in my mind that I would refer a family member or friend to your office. Thank you!* - A 34-year-old breast augmentation patient

I really appreciated your calm and caring attention during and after the surgery, and especially post-op appointments making sure everything was okay. I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone wanting plastic surgery procedures.* - A 57-year-old tummy tuck and liposuction patient

I want to take this opportunity to tell you how much I appreciate everything you have done for me. Not only do you possess great skill as a surgeon, but you have a bedside manner that is second to none!* - A 36-year-old breast augmentation patient

I received my before and after photos from you today and I had to send you this note and say “THANK YOU”!! Wow, what a difference, what a beautiful difference. I am more than pleased with my results. I want to thank you for taking this journey with me. Since the surgery, every time I look in the mirror I smile, as I am truly overjoyed with what I see. You are a fabulous doctor! I could not have picked anyone better. I have been telling everyone I know to go and see you.* - A 34-year-old breast augmentation patient

I could not be happier with Dr. Wilke. He is an amazing surgeon and a very nice person. I'm thrilled with the results of my breast reduction.*

Dr. Wilke is great – I would recommend him to all my friends that are thinking of having any plastic surgery.*

Dr. Wilke is very professional and great at what he does. He makes me feel very comfortable. I loved the results of my breast augmentation. I've already recommended him to a friend for a breast lift.*

The communication from Dr. Wilke was excellent. I appreciated his honest answers regarding the expectations of my surgery. This has been an excellent experience and I will highly recommend him to my friends.*

Wonderful experience! Sweet, gentle, patient, helpful staff from consultation to post-op check ups. I visited 4 plastic surgeons, Dr. Wilke was the least expensive and had the best bedside manner and facilities. Also liked that he was willing to see me to discuss my expectations and concerns as many times as I wanted before the procedure. Not looking to, but would have another procedure there in a heartbeat.*

Dr. Wilke performed my breast augmentation (transaxillary access) in January 2006, and I am still thrilled with my 36D saline implants. I went from an A cup to a full D (I am 5'10"). Even through one pregnancy and three months of breast feeding, they are perfect and better than ever. EPS is the best, thank you so much!*

I love, love, love EPS! They are polite, return phone calls promptly, respectful of all my questions &amp; take my needs &amp; wants into consideration when answering them. They truly have the patients’ best interest in mind when considering any procedure requested. No question is looked at as ridiculous or stupid. From doctors, nursing staff, to front desk staff, they are all patient centered. I had a tummy tuck and breast augmentation nearly 4 years ago. I'm SO pleased with my results!! I never had any cosmetic surgeries in the past, but Dr. Wilke and his staff made me feel so comfortable and reassured me it would all go well, that I'm looking into other cosmetic surgery in the near future! I love this place and wouldn't consider having cosmetic surgery anywhere else but at Edina Plastic Surgery. Keep up the awesome work you do for your patients.*

I cannot say enough positive things about Dr. Wilke and everyone who works at EPS. Dr. Wilke always takes the time to talk to me and explain all the details; I have always felt so cared for as a patient of his. I cannot recommend him enough. I am so glad I chose him as my doctor. Best decision of my life!!*

Dr. Wilke performed my abdominoplasty procedure in June 2016. Excellent results! I'm scheduled for a breast reduction procedure in Sept., and I am confident that the results will be the same.*

Congratulations on 40 years! Dr. Wilke is a great doctor as I'm sure you all are. Can't wait to see you again.*

Happy 40th Anniversary to Edina Plastic Surgery. I had a facelift, eyelid lift, brow lift and a chemical peel done a few years ago and I could not be happier with the results. After interviewing doctors at three other practices in the Twin Cities I am so glad that I went with Dr. Wilke at EPS. He is a consummate professional and truly cares about his patients. A medical practice that stays in business for 40 years has to be doing things right because it is a VERY big accomplishment. Kudos to all the doctors and staff!*
